GrandWest’s Grand Arena is the battleground for the year’s final EFC fight night in Cape Town. On 9 September 2017 fighters from across the globe will converge for a full card of action packed bouts. One of the highlights is the much-anticipated welterweight clash between the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (DRC), Bruno “The Major” Mukulu and South Africa’s Dino “The Lion” Bagattin.
A striking pedigree
This bout was scheduled to take place in Sun City earlier this year, but was cancelled after Bagattin suffered a concussion during training. Bagattin, the former welterweight champion, is renowned for his striking pedigree and “never say die” attitude. He is also the longest standing athlete on the EFC roster.
The DRC’s Mukulu is fresh off a big win against Niel du Plessis and will be fighting hard to keep building on this momentum. He has been calling for a title shot, and a win over a former champion will push him closer to that goal.
Highly anticipated clash
With the intensity that only two athletes of such high calibre can bring, this highly anticipated clash will open the main card fights at GrandWest. There will be five main card fights on the night. The preliminary fights will start at 5.45pm, with the main card bouts kicking off at 9pm.
The five main card bouts will be broadcast live on kwesesports.com (Sub-Saharan Africa), Kwesé Free Sports 1 (Kenya and Rwanda) and live in South Africa on SABC 3 starting at 9pm (CAT).
